A:AnswerHi SweetE. Cast Iron is a poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. It cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. We do want to express to use caution while cooking with cast iron on a ceramic glass cooktop. If dropped, cast iron can damage the cooktop due to the weight. Sliding cast iron across the cooktop could scratch the surface. We hope this information is helpful. ~ Anna
A:AnswerA regular electric oven uses a large coiled resistor as a heating element. A large electric current is passed through this element which generates heat, similar to the tungsten filament of an incandescent light bulb.
An induction stove doesn't actually generate heat itself, but rather induces it the pot or pan. It does this using a rapidly oscillating magnetic field. This field induces an electric current in a ferromagnetic pan which generates heat, thus heating the food.
Induction stoves are faster, safer, and more energy efficient than traditional electric stoves. It requires significantly less electricity to create the magnetic field than it does to drive enough current through a resistor to make it heat up. They are safer because they don't actually generate heat themselves. After taking a pot off the "burner" (glass surface) it quickly begins to cool.
With regards to differences in the cooking process, there's not much. You just need to be aware that it heats up much more quickly and cools down much more quickly than a traditional electric stove. It does affect your choice of pans however. All aluminum pans will not work, nor will some lower quality stainless steel ones. If a magnet sticks to the pan then it will work just fine. The pan must also have a flat bottom to make full contact with the surface.

A:AnswerIt is hard wired, no plug. The Best Buy installation team installed it. Make sure the counter hole is large enough. Our was not and caused extra hassle to install.
A:AnswerThe instruction manual recommends you use at least a 240V / 40A breaker. See below. Good luck.
"Provide Electrical Connection Install the junction box under the cabinet and run 120/240 or 120/208 Volt, AC wire from the main circuit panel. DO NOT connect the wire to the circuit panel at this time. Electrical Requirements This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. A circuit breaker or fuse is required by your appliance. The circuit breaker or fuse amperage recommended for your appliance is 40A or 50A."
